Sal

frac = 10-3   = 10-6 ppm

= ppk = ppt = 1,000 ppm

wt% = 10,000 ppm = 10  = 0.01 frac

mg/L = 1 ppm = 0.01 wt% = 0.001  


* In engineering practice, the Salinity is often measured in [ mg/L ] = 0.001   but this is misnomer as the right-hand side is dimensionless quantity whereas the left-hand expression has a physical meaning of the density.

The relation between the two has only sense for water at melting point which has a unit density.
